Two Days After ~

I can't believe that Christmas has come and gone.  Christmas day was relatively quiet but enjoyable.  I shared it with my son, grandson, older brother and his DSO.  My poor DSO has been sick for days.  He finally went to a walk in clinic this afternoon and he has sinusitis.  He is absolutely miserable, but thankfully it is nothing more serious.

 

 

 

 

 

I know many of you have all your Christmas put away, but not me.  I will savor it a few more days and begin to take it down after the new year arrives.  I can't believe I didn't post many pictures of the house, so here are a few.  I have some great pictures taken on my iPad but can't figure out how to download them to the desktop.  I suppose I could try blogging from my iPad, but that just frustrates me. 

 

This little tree has mostly vintage cotton batting and chenille ornaments.  The white chenille stars are repros.

 

 

 

My kitchen tree decorated with old figural lightbulbs.

 

 

Santa tree in the dining room.  Rug pattern by Maria Barton of Star Rug Company.

 

 

 

The bear to the left is my blind antique bear.

 

 

Vintage celluloid Santas and reindeer and bottle brush trees.

 

 

Mostly vintage (and a few reproduction) cotton batting Santas.

 

 

On the mantle.

 

 

Just a few of my salt glazed Santas in a wall box.

 

 

Plastic snowmen from the 50's?

 

 
Old childrens' shoes.

 

Took a quick trip to the antique mall in Norwalk, Ohio today.  Got this paper mache Santa who has seen better days, but for the price, I could not resist.

I still don't have anything on my frame . . . sigh.  I think I'm going through withdrawal :)  God knows I have plenty of patterns to choose from.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
